Patriot Air Defense

December 14, 2022

December 14, 2022 – As the US finalizes its plans to send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, Russian officials are warning against the move, saying the Patriot missiles will be a prime target of Russian airstrikes. The US decided to send Patriot missiles to Ukraine after Russian bombardment continued to target energy facilities and infrastructure. CNN’s Will Ripley reports.

December 16, 2022 – At the onset of the Ukraine War, the Americans laid out three criteria for providing weapons to the Ukrainians: it must be a weapon system not critical to US defense operations, the technology must be outdated and it must be something that the Ukrainians can operate on their own. But things are changing . . .

December 16, 2022 – Ukrainian authorities say Russia has launched another major missile attack on energy facilities and infrastructure. Local authorities in the capital Kyiv and the northeastern city of Kharkiv reported explosions.

The latest strikes come as Ukrainian military and civilian leaders warn that the Kremlin is preparing for a new widescale offensive as early as January.

It’s been reported that the US is preparing to send Patriot missile systems to Ukraine. Russian officials say that arming Ukraine with Patriot missiles would be regarded as an escalation and would have consequences.

December 24, 2022 – After being transferred to Ukraine, the MIM-104A Patriot defense system was sent to the eastern combat unit, where it immediately shot down the latest Russian fighter!

We won’t go into details about where and when this event took place, so as not to declassify the information, but we do know that the Patriot was 100% successful!

This news really helped the enemy understand the true capability of air defense systems!

May 23, 2023 – In just the first two weeks of America’s Patriot Air Defense System being operational in Ukraine, a reported SEVEN Russian Kinzhal missiles were shot down over Kyiv. Now, as Russia rushes to shift the narrative around their supposedly “invincible missile,” a third Russian hypersonic scientist has been charged with treason… and it looks like Russian President Vladimir Putin is looking to pin Kinzhal’s failure on the nation’s leading scientists. Let’s talk about what this means for Kinzhal, and for the future of Russian weapons programs.
